Fantasy Football Today - FFT Express - Beat the Waiver Wire! MUST-STASH Players Before Week 14! 49ers DST, Strange, Mitchell, Higgins, Corum, & Others! (12/04 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug. Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip. This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course. We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants. Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need. Staying somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home than a hotel, and you get a real feel for the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so many options to choose from on Airbnb.

Starting point is 00:00:43 So whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find.

All right, let's beat the Waver Wire. playoff edition right now on fantasy football today express welcome welcome for the show adam and dave here i don't know what oh it has been a little while since we've done this because you weren't here last week okay that's why it feels that way welcome back thank you it's it's a joy to be here it's a joy to help people prepare for the fantasy playoffs it beats a real job like being a boss of accountants for example.

Starting point is 00:02:29 Okay. Dave, who should we be, I think what you ought to to say you wanted to start with DSTs? I do because the best stash that you can make right now

Starting point is 00:02:37 for your fantasy team for week 15 is a DST, the 49ers DST, taking on the Tennessee Titans. It does not get any better than that. I know that they don't have a ton of talent. They've been beaten up by injuries, but here they are coming off the by,

Starting point is 00:02:54 taking on the lowly Titans. I would just pause this video right now, find some schlub on your bench, cut them, pick up the 49ers, DSC, they're out there in about half of CBS leagues. Whether you make the playoffs or not, go grab them because you'll want to have the 49ers on your team in week 15. That's great. I like that, actually. And yeah, I think a lot of people, you know, don't be afraid to roster two DSTs right now.

Starting point is 00:03:16 And also, if you're, if you've clinched the first round by, this show is not going to be very helpful for you. Just take a look at week 16 and whoever Tennessee is playing there or, or, or, or, or, or just some good DSTs. And the city. Okay. In New Orleans in week 17, if you're daring. Yeah, I mean, some people, it doesn't matter if you win this week.

Starting point is 00:03:37 So don't worry about the fantasy points you're going to score. Just do what's best for your lineup in week 16, if that's the case. Now, speaking of week 15, who are the quarterbacks we should be rostering? Well, I was going to talk about the DSTs. You want to go quarterbacks or DST? DST is fine. You can stay on that. Because you might want to bend you.

Starting point is 00:03:55 or cut, the Browns, they play Chicago, the Lions, they play the Rams, the Rams will play the lions, the commanders, they take on the Giants. These are all highly rostered DSTs. I've got more of them. I got more names. So if you hear a DST you've got on your team, you might want to find a second one for week 15 at least. I already went through the Browns, lions, Rams, commanders, Ravens, Patriots and Bills, they play each other, the Chargers, the Steelers. If the Steelers stink it up this week, I don't know how good you're going to feel about them going one-on-one against Miami. So in addition to the 49ers being the top stash to get, the Bears DST takes on the Browns, the Jaguars DST takes on the Jets, the Cowboys DST takes on the Vikings, and if they're out

Starting point is 00:04:39 there, the Bucks DSTs against Atlanta. So there are some DSTs that can help you out in week 15 if you're watching this and someone else in your league has already started watching this and they already beat you to get the 49ers on their team. All right. Do you ready for quarterbacks? Yeah, but it sucks. Yeah, all the good ones are rostered already. Where have all the quarterbacks gone? Don't ask me to say again. Tarad Taylor is as good as it gets, 70% available at Jacksonville.

Starting point is 00:05:07 The other names are Bryce Young, Tyler Shuck, they play against each other, Aaron Rogers against Miami, Kirk Cousins against Tampa, JJ McCarthy against Dallas. I mean, look, if one of those last three quarterbacks ends up doing well this week,

Starting point is 00:05:22 then maybe you'll say, okay, I can be convinced to start, them in a favorable matchup in week 15, but those are a lot of steps. And you've got to be really desperate to need a quarterback in week 15. Maybe you're in a spot where you're starting love this week and you don't have a plan for after this week because he takes on Denver. Caleb Williams takes on Cleveland.

Starting point is 00:05:39 That's not going to be easy. Berset at Houston. Is that where the Berset magic ends? I don't know if we've got the guts to sit them against Houston. But the bottom line is that if you are desperate for a quarterback, you're kind of out of luck. There aren't a lot of good ones on the waiver. most leagues. I got to say one guy, 71% rostered, I believe, is Jaden Daniels. So that's a little

Starting point is 00:06:00 She's out there. I mean, it looks like he's going to play this week. Week 14. 76% rostered Daniels and he's got the Giants next week. So please check your leagues and make sure he's not available. If he is, any running backs? Not really. I mean, Blake Holam and Ty J. Spears are as good as it gets. They're available in 48% of leagues. Maybe Chris Rodriguez is out there. We've talked about him before as a stash guy and he's available in about a third of leagues but they're not exciting running back so i thought i would use this time to tell you to get your handcuffs i even made a rank list of the best handcuffs for you to get you this is where you say okay dave tell us oh yeah so uh the best handcuffs i just don't know how to prioritize them

Starting point is 00:06:49 Dave. Can you help? I sure can, Adam. And most of all, you're going to want to get the handcuffed to your own stud running back. And not all backups are created equally, but here's what I got. Obviously, if you've got Bejan Robinson, you want Tyler Alger. If you've got Kyron Williams, you want Blake Corm. If you've got Christian McCaffrey, go get yourself Brian Robinson Jr. James Cook, Ray Davis. Devon A. Chan, Ollie Gordon. Seekwon Barkley, Tank Bigsby. Travis E. T.N., Bachel Tootin. Josh Jacobs, Emmanuel Wilson. And then you should be able to figure out some of the other running backs that are behind the starters. But let me just give you two examples of backups that aren't necessarily good handcuffs for the

Starting point is 00:07:29 stud in front of them. Derek Henry, if he goes missing, because he never gets hurt, he'd have to go missing. Keaton Mitchell would probably see a big uptick in playing time, but he wouldn't get all the work. So I wouldn't feel comfortable having Keaton Mitchell ready to go in case something happens to Derek Henry. And if Chase Brown misses time, then is it going to be Samajai P. Ryan. Will P. Ryan pair with another running back? It doesn't feel equal. The running backs that I

Starting point is 00:07:53 told you about before, those guys feel like they can give me 70% of what the running back in front of them does. And that's why I want to carry them on my team. So again, look to your bench. If there's a player that you're just not going to start, doesn't have a lot of upside. You can cut them now to pick up the handcuff to your stud running back. And look, we think that Devin Singletary will be back in week 15. but we don't know this. So single, I'm sorry, Tyrone Tracy will be back. Singletary is a guy that you could add. He's only 43% roster.

Starting point is 00:08:24 I will take a break and talk about wide receivers when we come back on FFT Express. From holiday parties to festive roast by the fire, the holidays are full of moments to share a drink with friends and family. Being ready for the next morning still matters. That's why I have to tell you about this game-changing product they use. It's called pre-alcohol. I'll be honest. I'm heading out to a show this weekend.

Starting point is 00:08:46 in New York City. A lot of money to get there. It's Geese, the most popular band right now on the internet, and I know it's going to be a heavy drinking weekend. I already know. So I prepped everything. You know, I got the ticket ready. I got my train ticket.

Starting point is 00:08:59 I want to make sure that the day's going to go great. But then I said, I forgot the most important thing. And I looked to my cabinet, and there it was the pre-alcohol, so I cannot wait to take that before the concert. It's going to be a long night, but it's not going to be a long morning with pre-alcohol. Make the most of every toast this holiday season.

Starting point is 00:09:16 Just don't forget to bring pre-alcohol along for the ride. Go to Zbiotics.com slash FFT to learn more and get 15% off your first order when you use FFT at checkout. Dave Richard, who are the wide receivers to get to stash? So these are guys that you can not only stash, but you could start them this week. There's an asterisk with the top guy. It's Greg Dorch, 85% available. He's on the injury report with a chest injury. Obviously, if he doesn't practice this week, he's probably not going to play against the Rams.

Starting point is 00:09:45 can't use him in that case, but he is somebody that I've ranked the highest in full PPR. The next guy, and these are all names that you've heard of within the last seven to 14 days as a fantasy manager. So none of these names should surprise you. It's just surprising that they're still on the waiver wire. Adonai Mitchell, 58% available. People aren't buying it. Maybe it's because he's a jet. Maybe it's because he's screwed up in Indianapolis.

Starting point is 00:10:08 The targets have been there for him for really ever since Terad Taylor has taken over. I can buy into that, especially with matchups against the dolphins and the jet. Jaguars in his next two games. Jaden Higgins in Houston is somebody who's been playing very well as a safe floor and full PPR. He's got the Chiefs this week that stinks. Arizona the week after that, that's pretty good.

Starting point is 00:10:27 Jaden Higgins is someone that I'd be real interested in adding. And then John Mechie, Devon, Velae, you know, they've both been running a lot of routes lately and they've been getting some good target volume lately. So you can carry them. I don't know if I would start them. Maybe in deeper leagues and they'd have to be PPR for me to go with them. but Metschie's got the same opponents over the next two weeks as Adnai Mitchell,

Starting point is 00:10:48 Devon, Velae, Tampa this week, Carolina next week. If he sticks, I'd say if he has a good game again this week, has good target volume again this week, then next week against Carolina, I'd be okay trying him as a number three receiver. So baby steps with Velae were going a little bit faster with guys like Dorch, Mitchell, and Higgins. I also went on a mission, Adam.

Starting point is 00:11:09 I wanted to find the next Adonai Mitchell. And what does that mean? mean somebody who's playing a lot, getting targets, just hasn't had that breakout game. And it's a name that we've talked about on the show before and another name that we haven't. Luther Burden in Chicago, 57% route run rate each of the last three weeks, five plus targets in three straight games. I wonder if he continues to see his involvement go up for the Bears. Pat Bryant for the Broncos, 61% or more routes run, each of the past four for Denver,

Starting point is 00:11:39 six or more targets in each of his last two. everybody was excited about him last week. He had 7.2 PPR points of the week before that, or the game before that, he had 13.2 ppr points. So those are two other receivers that you can stash on your team, thinking long term, thinking that they might have their breakout moment, and then that they can become fantasy starters in the playoffs. All right, we'll finish up with tight ends.

Starting point is 00:12:03 There's a lot of them. This is good. Brent and Strange and Dalton Schultz are the highlights. You can add them now off the waiver wire and start them this week. strange 35% available he's got the colts then the jets Schultz has Kansas City and then Arizona and we know Arizona 11 or more half PPR points forget about full PPR half PPR to two of the past three

Starting point is 00:12:24 tight ends that they've gone up against they should give up a number to L.A's tight ends this week and then Dalton Schultz does his thing next week and the reason why those two are very interesting you might need a tight end now to stream or if you've got Harold Fanon Hunter Henry or Ronda Gadsden, Darren Waller, or Kate Otton. I don't know if I like the matchups for them in week 15.

Starting point is 00:12:46 And I don't know how badly I want to start most of those guys in week 14. Hunter Henry, I'm not even starting in week 14. I'm done with Kate. Talk yourself into moving on from them and getting Strange and Schultz in your tight end spot this week. Yeah, I'm done with Kate Otton, Dave. I think most people are, but he's still rostered very highly.

Starting point is 00:13:03 Yeah, I think you should be, I think I think you should move on from him, fantasy managers, especially if Mike Evans plays this week. I mean, it's just, they're not throwing the ball a lot. And they're not throwing the ball. They're averaging about 185 passing yards per game in their last five or six games. It's insane. That's Tampa Bay.

Starting point is 00:13:22 You know, Aten, it just feels like it's starting to fade. He has one or two end zone targets all year. He never scores. What's going to happen when Evans comes back and McMillan comes back? He's going to be, he's going to turn to dust. Hey, two more names at tight end. These are stashes for week 15. Isaiah likely, 80% available at Cincinnati, and I feel a little gross saying this, but T.J.

Starting point is 00:13:45 Hawkinson, 49% available. He's got Dallas. So these are two tight ends that have favorable matchups in week 15. I'd rather have strange. I'd rather of Schultz. But if I've got one of those other tight ends that I mentioned, Fan and Henry Gadsden Waller, Otten, maybe I'm stashing likely in Hawkinson, see what they do this week, and potentially start them in favorable matchups. in the first round of the fantasy playoffs Adam we're here fantasy playoff time you know yeah you know it's
